Are you ready for some football?

He said today one of the best things about being traded from the hapless Lions to the Cowboys is he’ll finally get to play on Sunday and Monday nights.

“To play on Monday night and Sunday night, and all the good things that come with being a Dallas Cowboys…I’m ecstatic,” Williams said via conference call after the deal was announced.

Williams admitted all the losing he experienced since joining the Lions drafted him in 2004 diminished his passion for the game.

“Going from 0-5 to 4-2, you can’t ask for anything better than that,” Williams said, referring to the records of his old and new team. “I’ve always loved this game of football. It’s always been my passion, but to play the game and lose the way we lost this year, it kind of goes away from you.”

Williams’ dream of playing under the lights in the NFL will be realized when the Cowboys play at Washington on Nov. 16, a Sunday night game. Other night games left on the team’s schedule are a Sunday affair at Texas Stadium against the Giants and a Saturday contest against Baltimore on the NFL Network, which also happens to be the club’s final game at Texas Stadium.
